What is Reiki good for?

"Reiki is the Universal Life Force Energy that revitalizes our personal life force. Because it is energy, Reiki affects every level of our Being: the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. That is one of the greatest advantages about Reiki! When I started to pay attention, I realized that we can't heal one part if we don't heal the whole!

So, as I was saying, Reiki affects every aspect of our being. The physical body is the one that we can touch and feel, and where illness is manifested. The emotional body is related to the emotions, fears and joys. The mental body is connected to the mind, the intellect. The spiritual body has to do with the soul and one's life purpose. Reiki enhances the wellbeing of every one of these bodies.

Reiki promotes our body's natural ability to heal any illness or negative condition, anything that keeps us away from expressing our true nature. It gently balances the body's systems, causing relaxation and reducing stress and anxiety. (You may already know that even Western medicine agrees that relaxation and stress reduction is healing.) Perhaps as a result of the relaxation, Reiki can also reduce pain, including acute and chronic pain.

Reiki promotes an improved sense of wellbeing because it works on every level, including emotional and spiritual issues, such as depression and addiction. It is also useful for balancing and bringing harmony to negative or traumatic situations, such as conflict at home or at work. This aspect of Reiki is so hard to describe- it's really something that has to be experienced to be fully grasped!

Reiki affects both chronic and acute conditions, has been shown to improve immune and nervous system function as well as circulation. In conjunction with proper medical care, Reiki can be used to treat all kinds of problems: metabolic ailments, wounds, burns, degenerative diseases, nervous or muscular tensions, insomnia, allergies, asthma, psychosomatic illnesses, and endocrine problems, such as diabetes, among others. In cancer cases, Reiki has been known to help alleviate the side effects of chemotherapy and other treatments. Its use as a complement to medical care is rapidly growing in hospitals throughout the world and it has been found to accelerate postoperative healing.

Reiki has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and problem, always creating a beneficial effect. It does not have any contraindications or side effects, nor is an overdose of Reiki possible because the process regulates itself according to the receiver. Although Reiki always helps, and in some cases has even caused complete healings (confirmed by medical tests done before and after the Reiki treatments), this cannot be guaranteed. Generally, most people experience stress reduction with some improvement in their physical and psychological state.

All of what is written above is absolutely true about Reiki. But let me just say this: the most important and exciting aspect of Reiki is that it brings us back to our True Self; it gives us the gift of abiding peace, it helps us live a life of meaning, it assists us in recognizing and carrying out our Divine Purpose!"
